Clojure is not designed to appeal masses, but to solve complex problems and keep things sane. And if you notice around, specialized industrial tools aren't pretty, but are sharp. > Not strong in any domain and doesn't have any

If I may ask, what it takes to publish a book like this? Obviously, beside personal time invested in writing, how hard is to get in touch with publisher, talk with them about specific topic, have it approved and reviewed and so on? Do you h

Yes! Nicely integrates with almost everything through org-mode's babel [1] (those not familiar with Emacs, org-mode babel is like Jupyter notebook on steroids). If you find org-mode table column formulas complicated, you can use other

I'd say any app that will do any kind of (more than simple) data manipulation. If you plan to support more and more data formats, things will get exponentially worse. One domain where I'd go with Lisp/Clojure/Scheme any

Apache Drill [1] is alternative, using ANSI SQL. Beside json, it support JDBC, csv, parquet, file system traversal, HBase, Mongo, S3... I believe it also support joins across different sources, although I haven't tried that. EDIT: to a

I believe I'm missing something here or my day was too long, but in Clojure this can be squeezed in 13 lines and 435 characters keeping things fairly readable (for Clojure & Lisp developers ;)). (defn wc [^String file]

Libpng wasn't good example regarding size indeed, my main focus was security and how much of things it can affect. For heavy libraries, good example is Qt and KDE. KDE would preload all necessary libraries so KDE and Qt applications co

The same applies today for nodejs and go, but the same was happening with python, ruby and perl libraries in the past. However, this only shows that standard distro packaging approach is broken or was broken all the time. First, if you want

Sell talk and buzzwords. Either author has no idea that Hadoop is ecosystem and Spark depends on it or deliberately mix Hadoop and Kubernetes, which aren't much related. And good luck running Spark without Hadoop ;)

For those using Emacs, I'd recommend restclient.el [1]. In Emacs fashion, you can keep REST API documented in a single (or more) files and evaluate parts directly in buffer for testing and playing. Throw that on git/mercurial and

I find funny this "beating C with X" attempts and articles, popular since the dawn of computing. Although all of them are trying hard to be a little bit faster (and shorter) than C code, this is usually the price they have to pay:

In Scheme, the only way to loop is via recursion. In Clojure, all high level functions and looping macros (for/doseq) are implemented via recursion as well (loop/recur). Yes, it requires significant paradigm shift when you start t
